Evora market watch, for discussion and to help those searching!

Airbag: can be a MOT issue as the rules are that any sign of airbag failure is a fail. Many MOT stations will not notice the lift or not consider it a failure of the airbag.

I understand it is heat from the sun that makes the airbag panel pop up. It appears to be a common problem, mine had it fixed prior to purchase. Windscreen sunshade is a worthwhile Evora addition.......TLF shop should consider selling them.

this is now going to be my 3rd lotus ownership

Wow ^^^^^

If I was in the market I'd be chasing that car down unless anyone knows of any issues with it. Looks superb in white.

[Bravo73]

Erm, I think that @Troy5925 has just bought it... 

[Bibs]

[Reindeer]

Beautiful! Enjoy!

There are 2 great looking Evora 400s out there that I am interested in/can afford. In particular I like the red one LJ16 AWZ. I understand from the dealer that it is an ex B&C car then 1 owner. Now on 26k miles with a full Lotus service history. Apart from a little lacquer problem on the lights it looks great.

Is there anything in particular I should look out for please?

Does anyone know the car?

TIA C

Hi there, did you end up buying the car LJ16 AWZ? have seen it's back on the market again. Would love to get your opinion on the car.

[andyj007]

just a heads up lads  we just had a really bad experience with these guys trying to buy another car.. whilst there i noticed they  have a lotus evora SR for sale ..  so its just a heads up to do your due diligence very carefully if your considering this car..

https://www.integrityautomotive.co.uk/used/cars/lotus

dont believe 100% what they tell you to be the  true ..  insist on a proper lotus evaluation of the car at the very least.. from a approved dealer..

we didnt proceed with buying another car from them in the end..as we believed there business ethics to be very poor..

I've talked about that car before......

Accident repairs and missing service history in short.......

[Reindeer]

Which is a shame as the colour scheme is excellent in my opinion....

[EGTE]

A dealership with "Integrity" in the name is probably anything but! 'The lady doth protest too loudly' and all that.

Have you found a dry spell to see what it's like Troy?  I'm waiting to view a similar one when it's back from a service.

Yeah, love the green 👍

Hi Doug

all I’ve managed to do yet is drive the family down to Margate and back and love the noise and pull away from the lights and the steering feels great

 

I need to get out in it on my own to try out the late braking and corner speeds
